Overview
Arducam team just released an 8MP Raspberry Pi compatible camera based on the Sony IMX219 image sensor. It’s capable of 3280 x 2464 pixel static images, and also supports video. It attaches to Pi by the dedicated standard CSI interface.
This camera has a NoIR M12 lens which can be applied under low light conditions. It is supplementary for Raspberry Pi's official camera in order to fulfill the demands for different lens mounts, the field of view (FOV) and depth of the field (DOF), as well as the motorized IR-cut filter for both daylight and night vision.
Applications
- Cellular phones, PDAs, Toys
- Other battery-powered products
- Wildlife Photograph
- Home Security Supervise
- Recording slow motion
- Machine vision, etc.
